       My father and I had a great time -- wonderful to meet everyone! Thanks for the hospitality, JOJO! We hope to see you all next time. For those that I spoke with about Chris Martenson's Crash Course, stay tuned for an Atlanta screening event in the coming months... -Stephen 
    •  JoJo and Carl were the most gracious of hosts providing a beautiful space to meet in with a warm, friendly atmosphere where I felt comfortable immediately when I walked in! The attendees at the gathering were from diverse backgrounds with a similar passion for going beyond fossil fuels but with an understanding that the solution is not so clear cut. The speaker from GA Tech allowed me to understand how the formula for concluding whether an alternative fuel source is actually 'better' is much more complicated than simply looking at the final product. I plan to attend every meeting that I can going forward! 
    •  The speaker was amazing and well prepared. Good discussion after the presentation. We had a lot of new faces. The food was a sucess also.
